PIPEDA findings #2017-010: Reasons for retaining customer credit card data explained
A retail store
A complainant objected to a retail store retaining records of her credit card transactions after she requested their deletion. The store initially cited contractual obligations to credit card companies, but later informed the OPC that the Excise Tax Act also legally required data retention. The OPC relayed this explanation to the complainant, who found it satisfactory, and the matter was resolved.
